This skill is your main damage source. The magic damage on active is very nice and allow you to do a lot of damage in a short time combined with the activation bonus attack speed. The persistent attack speed bonus is a nice gift from this skill ;)

Activation: Udyr gains a shield that absorbs damage for 5 seconds or until it has absorbed the full amount of damage.
Persistent effect: Udyr's attacks cannot crit, but they restore a percentage of his damage as health and mana.

This skill gives you a lot of defence and survivability. The persistence effect is fantastic for a solo top champion cause it grants you health and mana restoration, allowing you to stay in lane longer. The activation effect can be used for stopping an enemy ability of for running away after an attack.

Activation: Udyr gains increased movement speed for a few seconds.
Persistent effect: Udyr mauls his enemies with such force that they are stunned for 1 second when they are hit. This effect can only occur once every 6 seconds on the same target.

This skill is usefull while your jungler comes to gank.. just stun your enemy with the persistent effect and kill him activating your tiger stance and the help of your jungler. The activation effect could save you in a lot of situation.

Activation: Udyr sends out pulsing waves of fire dealing magic damage each second to nearby enemies for 5 seconds. During this time Udyr's ability power and attack damage are increased.
Persistent effect: Every third attack, Udyr engulfs the enemies in front of him in flames, dealing magic damage.

This skill is a great skill for jungling udyr and could be nice for a solo top udyr too. It can be used for cleaning a lane is a short time. In this guide we are using Tiger Stance as main damage source, so ( in this case ) i see this skill as an utility for cleaning lanes.

Jungle

Udyr is not my favourite jungler champion, but he is surelly one of the best junglers in the game. There are mainly two tipes of build for him:

Tiger: this setup focuses on burst the ganked enemy, thanks to the high damage of your Tiger Stance.

Phoenix: this setup is great in my opinion, it gives you a little less damage than your Tiger Stance setup, but thanks to the great AOE damage of Phoenix Stance it makes Udyr one of the faster jungler in LOL , allowing you early ganks and a great scale during the game when team fight begins.
